Cycle to work

KNOWLEDGE BASE / Leave a Comment

The ‘Cycle to work’ Scheme allows you to purchase a bike/cycling equipment up to the value of £1,000 through the business you work for, then pay back the amount in monthly instalments over the course of 12 months. The payments will be treated as gross deductions from your monthly salary, providing you with tax and National Insurance relief on the cost of the bike. Upon joining the LLP, any existing agreements to pay off the cost of your bike will remain.

Childcare schemes

KNOWLEDGE BASE / Leave a Comment

Childcare schemes provide a tax-efficient way to fund your child’s care, between the ages of four and fifteen. There are currently two childcare schemes in operation. There’s the Childcare Voucher Scheme, which closed to new entrants on 4 October 2018, and the Tax-Free Childcare Scheme, which replaced the old scheme.

Parental Pay

KNOWLEDGE BASE / Leave a Comment

When you join the LLP, your statutory employment rights as an employee are carried over and replaced by a mix of statutory and contractual rights. Therefore, if you were eligible for statutory maternity pay when employed, the LLP will ensure that you receive the same amount of maternity pay you would have had in your employment when you become a member of the LLP.

Student Loans

KNOWLEDGE BASE / Leave a Comment

Student loan deductions are taken from your pay and the LLP reserves these amounts, rather than paying them across on a monthly/weekly basis. Any ‘statutory’ student loan liability which is triggered because of your LLP profit share on your Self-Assessment tax return is then paid by the LLP, on your behalf. Where the statutory student loan liability is less than what has been reserved in a given financial year, the LLP will make a voluntary payment for the remainder. Interest is added to the amounts reserved to ensure the individual is in no worse position.

Partner

Ben’s been here pretty much since the get-go and, as such, has been instrumental in growing the business into what it is today.

He’s passionate about, in his words, ‘helping people and businesses that are just constantly being taken advantage of’ by providing affordable advice and support with an eye to ‘levelling the playing field’.

Ben looks forward to the day when automation will, once and for all, fumigate the fear and confusion caused by oppressive bureaucracy and strongly believes that ‘technology holds the solutions to the problems we’re trying to solve’.

Furthermore, he can see that technology will, in time, provide the scalability required to help a theoretically limitless number of SMEs survive and thrive against the odds.

Ben doesn’t think much of government agencies and he doesn’t suffer fools; two points that aren’t always mutually exclusive.
